Recruiter Insight: Top 3 reasons your employees want to move jobs

I read this week that 4.5 million people are going to move jobs this year. As a recruiter, the foundation of my job is to speak to people who are looking to move jobs every day, an even I thought “wow, that seems like a lot”. So how do we stop this from happening, how can we retain our staff? Here are the top 3 reasons I hear from candidates about why they want to move…

1. “There’s no progression”

This can manifest itself in many forms. In smaller organisations this could mean having a clear training plan if there isn’t any room to move upwards and this could help employees feel valued and give them the appetite to do better in their roles. In larger organisations it would be a good idea to have a clear progression plan in place but ensuring you have ways to achieve this progression alongside. This ensures the employee knows it is obtainable and how to get there.

2. “I’m not being paid enough”

3. “I’m too stressed at work”
